Dimension Derivations Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Dimension Derivations tab.

Dimension Derivation Island

Field	Description
Name	In this field, you can enter the name of a dimension derivation principle. Maconomy will use the setting from this principle if the registration matches the target group specified in the following fields.

Priority Island

Field	Description
User Role	Enter a priority in this field if you want to derive dimensions from the user role. Dimensions are only derived from the user role if the priority is different from 0.
Account	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Local Account	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Company	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Customer	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Vendor	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Job	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Activity	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Employee Information	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Item	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.

User Island

See the chapter “Getting Started” for a description of the fields in the User island.

Priority, Dimensions Island

Field	Description
Location	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Entity	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Project	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Purpose	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Spec. 1-3	The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Local Spec. 1-3	The functionality of these fields is similar to that of the User Role field above.
Rederive	Select the Rederive fields to change an existing entry/registration (such as a time sheet line, expense sheet line, or general journal line). If you select a field for a dimension, Maconomy resets the dimension value prior to the rederivation, so that Maconomy always derives a new value for that dimension. This is especially useful if you have selected the system parameter Complete Dimension Derivation at Registration, as Maconomy then derives the same dimension value in an update, as if you have entered the same information when you create a new entry.
